I page Annex: Resettlement Monitoring and Assessment Plan Annex: Feasibility Study on Adjustment of Compensation Rate for Affected Houses-Luoyang-Sanmenxia Expressway Project  General The expressway from Zhumadian to Xinyang, as the southern extension of the expressway from Zhengzhou to Xuchang, Luohe and Zhumadian that runs through the south of Henan province, is the vital passage of the north to. south highway transportation channel in China. It is an important part of Beijing-Zhuhai National Trunk Highway (NTH). It starts from the terminal of Luohe-Zhumadian Expressway, which is now under construction and ends in the east of Xinyang City where the interchange overpasses the National Highway 312, with total length of 95 .52 km. This section of expressway connects two important regions in south Henan- Zhumadian Prefecture and Xinyang City. It passes through Runan, Queshan and Pingqiao county/district, etc. They are all major agricultural areas in Henan Province.. According to statistics of 1997, the area of Zhumadian and Xinyang City/Prefecture is 33618Sq. Km, the total population is 15.49 million and GDP is 43.563 billion-yuan RMB. It takes 10.67%/ of the GDP of Henan Province. In 1998, the daily traffic volume came to 10,000 vehicle/day within this section of the existing highways, which significantly exceeded the capacity of the existing highways. Therefore, it is necessary to build an expressway from Zhumadian to Xinyang. Construction of this section of expressway will occupy certain amount of land (include cultivated land) permanently or temporarily. Some of the ground attachments will be removed. Therefore, the normal, fife and production of the local people will be influenced at certain leveL This Resettlement Action Plan is prepared to solve and settle these problems properly, offer reasonable compensation and resettlement to the people who are influenced by land requisition and removal, protect the migrants' lawfil rights, and create conditions for future economic development to keep the migrants' living standard at least the not lower than the form one. This project shall occupy 9,074mu (604.93 ha.) of land permanently and remove 31317Sq.m of buildings. 1,384mu (92.27 ha.) of land shall be occupied temporarily. The amount for compensation shall be 231.86846 million-yuan and 4,920 people shall be affected. The cultivated land to be affected is 252,812mu. The permanent land requisition for this project is 3.5% of the total cultivated land of to be villages of land requisition.'* ->M; Therefore, the influence to the villages is not strong. This project is planned to startonNov.20, 2000 and complete inNov.30, 2003.- I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.-.t  I. Background of the Project 1. Description of the Project and Its Major Purpose The expressway from Zhumadian to Xinyang is an important part of Beijing-Zhuhai NTH. It connects the important regions in the south of Henan Province-Zhumadian Prefecture and Xinyang City. It is an important passage on north to south highway transportation of China. At present, fully enclosed and elevated expressways from Anyang to Xinxiang, and from Zhengzhou to Xuchang and Luohe have been built up. The expressway from Luohe to Zhumadian is now under construction. They are also parts of BeiJing- Zhuhai NTH. The upgrading of Class I highway from Xinxiang to Zhengzhou and the preparatory work for Xlnxiang-Zhengzhou expressway are also in process. . Because of the rapid economic development of China since reformation and opening to world, highway traffic volume is increased greatly. The investigated traffic volume between Zhumadian and Xinyang has been more than 10,000 vehicle/day (converted into medium-type vehicle), which significantly exceeded the capacity of the existing highways. Therefore, it is necessary and urgently required to build Zhumadian- Xinyang expressway. It has important significance to improve and realize Beijing- Zhuhai NTH to be functioned as expressway, to clear cross interference, to enhance the capability of highway, to reduce traffic accidents and to promote further development of the national economy. 2. Regions Affected and Benefited by the Projec The expressway from Zhuniadian to Xinyang directly influences Zhumadian Prefecture and Xinyang City, including 12 counties or districts under their administration: Qinyang, Runan, Queshan, Pingyu, Suiping, Shangcai, Xincai, Zhengyang, Pingqiao, Luoshan, Xixian and Guangshan as well as Luohe City and Hubei Province. It will influence indirectly 5 counties including Xinxian, Huangchuan, Huaibin, Gushi and Shangcheng as well as Nanyang City, Zhoukou Prefecture and Anhui Province. The construction of 95.52km long expressway shall bring vigorous development for the above-mentioned areas, which are main grain, cotton and edible oil producers in Henan Province. Also the investment enviromnent shall be improved and the economical .development shall be promoted. It will make great role in poverty fighting. 3. Social and Economical BaCkground of the Regions Affected by the Project Zhumadian Prefecture is located in the south of Henan Province with total area of 15,083Sq.m, 753,000 ha. of which is cultivated land. Its total population is 7.89 million, in which 7.04 million are agriculural people and 850,000 nonagricutural people. Its population density is 523 person per square meter. The average cultivated land per capita is 1.6mu. The main scope for agriculture includes grain, cotton and edible oil. Main industxy sections include non-metal development, building mateials, 2  medicine, textile, machinery, electricity and chemistry. Its main products include cigarette, beverage, alcohol, textile products, machine-made paper, paper plate, synthetic ammonia, plastic products and cement. Its GDP in 1997 was 22.509 billion- yuan, average 2,806 yuan per capita, ranking the 15th in 17 cities and prefectures in the province. Xinyang City, which connects with Hubei Province, is located in the south end of Henan Province. It has 18,915sq.m of land with 520,000ha. cultivated land. It has 7.6 million people including 6.6 million'agricultural people and 1 million non-agricultural people. The population density is 402 per square meter. The average cultivated land per capita is 1.2mu. The main scope for agriculture includes grain, cotton, red ramie and tea. Main industry sections include machinery, electricity, medicine, building materials, foodstuff feedstuff, textile and chemistry. There are 38 kinds of explored valuable mine resources, including serpentine and pearlite whose storage ranks first in l. ' f China. Its GDP in 1997 was 22.054 billion-yuan, average 2,785 yuan per capita, ranking the 16th in 17 cities and prefectures in the province. Zhumadian Prefecture and Xinyang City are both under-developed regions in economy of the province. The backward situation in economy needs to be improved. 4. Measures Taken to Minimum Migrants A lot of work has been done to minimum the influence caused by land requisition at the stage of feasibility study of the project. The alignment of this proposed expressway is determined according to the result of aerial photography, the land and the buildings to be influenced can be clearly distinguished in the photograph. In order to minimum the influence to the local people caused by land requisition of this project, Henan Provincial Communications Planning, Survey & Design Institute discussed with the leaders of highway construction departments and local governments along the route to work out the scheme of alignment. A 1:2000 topographic map is finally adopted, with the purpose to take the influence of removal and resettlement into consideration, to determine the scheme of alignment. From the stage of preliminary design, land requisition and resettlement has been the main factors that decide the project design and alignment. Because a lot of work has been done in survey and design stage, best efforts have been paid to minimum .the influence of land requisition. In order to minimum the quantity of land occupation and removal further adjustment for horizontal alignment is made during final design period, to avoid the alignment goes through those villages whose population'is large. Also, the longitudinal rdiei _ is reasonably adjusted to shorten the height of fill and the depth of cut, and the; interchanges are awranged properly. . . In addition, effort shall be made to minimum the influence caused by land requisition 3  and resettlement during construction period. The temporary land used shall be focus on existing buildings and waste yards (e.g. township enterprises that have been closed). Also, best effort shall be made to balance the earthwork during construction period, borrow sources shall be arranged in the waste land or waste hills. 5. Economical and Technical Feasibility Study The preparatory work for this project is arranged earlier because of the big scale and the large investment of this project. ln August 1990, "Pre-feasibility Study for Henan Section of Beijing-Shenzhen NTI" was completed by Henan Provincial Communicatio'ns Planning, Survey & Design Institute. In 1995, "Pre-feasibility Study for Beijing-Zhuhai NTH in the Section between Luohe and Xinyang"' was completed. In 1998, 'Pre-feasibility Study for Beijing-Zhuhai NTH in the Section between Zhumadian and Xinyang" andr 'Teasibility Study for Zhumadian-Xinyang Expressway of Beijing-Zhuhai NTW' were completed. 6. The Preliminary Design and Construction Design The Preliminary Design for this project has been completed during the period of October 1998 to January 1999, the Construction Design has been started in May, 1999 and shall be completed in October 1999 by Henan provincial Communications Planning, Survey & Design Institute. 7. Ownership and Organizational Structure of the Project Zhumadian-Xinyang Expressway is one part of the Beijing-Zhuhai National Trunk Highway, which characterized as stated-owned highway. The Henan Communications Department and the High-grade Highway Construction and Management Bureau under it shall responsible for the said project's construction, management and maintenance. During the implementation period, all levels (county/district, prefecture/city and province) of construction authorities and the offices under them shall responsible for land requisition & removal and migrants' resettlement. 8.
